Mt. Hood Skibowl
Known as “steep and cheap” by locals, Mt. Hood Skibowl is best suited for intermediate and advanced skiers because of its mostly black runs. The ski area is one of the more affordable resorts on Mt. Hood. There is also a good deal of night skiing for those who love to take turns under the lights. Because of the positioning of Skibowl, it can get cold.
